Chapter 139: Ningxia Ma's Army's sneak attack
"Go, take these cigarettes to the deputy chief of staff and tell him that there are cigarettes for other leaders here, so don't keep them all to yourself."
After returning to Huangyadong, Zhao Tianyang took out 20 packs of Zhonghua cigarettes from the tractor, handed them to Liu Ransheng beside him and gave instructions.
Zhao Tianyang divided the packed cigarettes into packs of 10 each.
This time he left Furongwang and Daqianmen to the village chief and asked him to take them to the market to test the waters.
The remaining Zhonghua and Yellow Crane Tower were taken back and prepared to be used as welfare for the workers.
"Ok."
Liu Ransheng took the cigarette and said worriedly, "Chief, don't forget me when you distribute the cigarettes!"
"Don't worry, we'll share the dinner after dinner."
Zhao Tianyang rolled his eyes, a little speechless.
After dinner in the evening, Liu Ding, Liu Guifu and others came to Zhao Tianyang's tent without being called.
"Chief, please send it out quickly. We have been envious for a long time."
In the tent, Liu Guifu looked at the cigarettes on the table with envy and urged.
"alright."
Zhao Tianyang unpacked the Zhonghua cigarettes: "We planted fewer cigarettes this time, 15 people, three packs of Zhonghua cigarettes each."
After saying that, he moved out a whole box of Yellow Crane Tower and said to Li Tie and others.
"For the remaining Huanghelou, each of you factory managers should take 84 packs and give a few to each worker when you return home so that they can have a taste."
"Also tell the workers that at the end of the year, the factory will give an extra pack of Zhonghua cigarettes as a reward to the worker who completes the most production tasks."
"Phew...With these cigarettes, the workers' enthusiasm will definitely increase greatly!"
Liu Ding lit up a cigarette, took a puff, and said with a smile.
"Okay, go do what you need to do with the cigarette."
Zhao Tianyang looked at the secondhand smoke in the tent and said speechlessly: "Hurry up and leave, this place is about to become a fairyland."
In the next two months, Huangyadong and the Arsenal entered a period of steady development.
In addition to supervising each factory and completing production tasks, Zhao Tianyang also followed Shen Hong to produce various machine tools every day in preparation for the factory in Yan'an.
"Something big has happened to the Section Chief!"
In mid-October, Liu Ransheng panicked and went to Zhao Tianyang, who was assembling a machine tool, holding a newspaper.
"What's the matter? You're so panicked!"
Zhao Tianyang asked with a little surprise.
Liu Ransheng handed the newspaper to Zhao Tianyang: "Chief, you will know after reading this!"
Zhao Tianyang took the Victory Newspaper and took a look at it.
The newspaper reported that the Ma family army in Ningxia, regardless of the danger of China's fall, suddenly attacked friendly forces, causing heavy losses to the Eighth Route Army stationed in Guyuan.
"Spread this news to the employees of each factory, and tell them that in order to support the friendly forces in Guyuan, their vacations will be cancelled from now on."
"The arsenal is running at full capacity, especially the bullet and propellant factories. The machines should not stop even if people stop working."
"I'm going right now!"
Liu Ransheng took the newspaper and nodded.
Watching Liu Ransheng leave, Zhao Tianyang, feeling a little worried, returned to the tent and called the headquarters.
I ended up waiting for more than ten minutes before the call was connected.
"Haha, Section Chief Zhao called to ask about Guyuan, right?"
Hearing the slightly relaxed tone of the deputy director of the Political Department on the phone, Zhao Tianyang asked curiously: "Yes, how did you know?"
"Today, I received at least a dozen calls asking about this matter."
The deputy director of the Political Department smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything is under the control of the Central Committee!"
"Your arsenal only needs to produce the weapons, and leave the rest to us."
"oh oh."
Zhao Tianyang hung up the phone in confusion. It seemed like his worries were in vain.
..............
At the same time, the man far away in the foggy city was cursing angrily at the other end of the phone.
"Fuck, where are you eating shit?"
"Ma Hongkui brazenly launched an attack on the Eighth Route Army in Guyuan. Do you know that I am in a passive position now?"
"Those students have already taken to the streets to protest, demanding that I severely punish the Ma family warlords who backstabbed our allies."
"You must make Ma Hong suffer the loss right now and go back to Ningxia, or you can stay in Xi'an and never come back!"
"Yes Yes……"
"Of course, I will make Ma Hongkui withdraw his troops."
Ci Xiu hung up the man's phone with a cold sweat on his face, then angrily shook the phone and called Ma Hongkui.
"I'm resigning as minister, and I'm looking for trouble with Ma Hong!"
"What? You don't know who I am?"
"National Government, Minister of the Political Department of the Military Commission, Commander-in-Chief of the Wuhan Garrison, and Chairman of the Hubei Provincial Government."
"Commander-in-Chief of the Ninth War Zone, quickly find Ma Hongkui for me. He has delayed my work. How many heads do you have to chop off?"
The signalman on the other end of the phone, hearing these titles that were more frightening than the last, put down the phone with a pale face and called Ma Hongkui who was looking at the map over.
"Haha, Minister Ci, how can you have the leisure to call me?"
"I called you several times last month, but you always said you were busy!"
Listening to Ma Hongkui's teasing, Ci Xiu said angrily: "Shut up!"
"I'm telling you, you are playing with fire now. Immediately, immediately, withdraw your troops from Guyuan, or you will suffer the consequences!"
"withdraw?"
Ma Hongkui said coldly: "I'm sorry, I've got the Communist bandits in Guyuan ready to be defeated. No one, not even the Lord, can stop them."
"You... calm down."
Seeing that Ma Hongkui was determined, Cixiu had to persuade him gently: "Don't act on impulse. The public opinion in the country is not favorable to you now."
"If you continue like this, you will all be labeled traitors and accomplices of the Japanese army."
"Treason?"
Ma Hongkui almost laughed out of anger: "Tell the general, I am only protecting the territory of my Ma family army, I don't care about anything else."
"If he still wants our support, then he should follow me and fight against the communists!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone with a click.
"Damn it, you reckless man!"
Looking at the silent phone, Ci Xiu cursed.
I wanted to just let this bastard fend for itself, but when I thought about the man's saliva that was about to spurt out of the phone, I had to start thinking of a solution.
After a while, Ci Xiu said to the guard at the door: "Go, invite Officer Li from the Eighth Route Army's Xi'an Office over here. Remember, be friendly!"
"Just say I have something to discuss with you!"
"Yes!"
On the other side, in Hefei area, the Japanese military headquarters.
"Haha, good news! Good news!"
"Guiziliu" came to the commander of the 11th Army with great interest and a telegram.
"Hurry up and read this telegram. The Ma family army in Ningxia has started fighting with the Eighth Route Army."
"Oh!"
The commander took the telegram curiously, read it, and said with a smile: "It seems that God is helping me!"
The commander was very happy because he was worried about the empire's attack on Wuhan. The Chinese people's resistance was fierce!
Now that this has happened, they have a lot of room for maneuver.
